Elmer Kammes

Elmer was my friend. He was born on the same day as my Dad, and we enjoyed cake and stories for the last few years. Each week that I brought him communion, his smile and twinkle in his eye was heartwarming. His faith and warm spirit made him special. He will be greatly missed by our St. Matthew's community. Prayers to you and to your Love, Rita. I will miss you Elmer. Debbie Lethlean

Our condolences to the Kammes family and friends of Elmer. Our prayers are with all, especially with his loving daughter Rose and her family. I agree, in that Elmer had a twinkle in his eye, like my father did who had died 30 years ago. They both shared the love of dairy farming and of the land, along with good moral believes that they passed onto their children. Mostly they shared the love of family. Elmer, thank you for loving my brother Don. Elmer, Rita and Don are in good company with the Lord laying to rest at the Truman Cemetery. They were all blessed. Bruce and Laura Klein

Elmer was always an especially sweet man. When we were talking, no matter what pain he was in or what was going on, mention of Rita would make his face light up. I am sure that they are dancing right now. I will always think of him when I bake sauerkraut cake, which he conned me into making for him last year because it reminded him of one his mom used to make.

I'm so sorry for your loss. He has a great family!
